Hi there, got lots of great vintage Pelikan and Montblanc to sell. All have fully smooth, working pistons and write/fill nicely.
Bump, 15% off listed price on everything
Please read before buying!!
- I have pointed out the flaws of each pen to the best of my knowledge. I have a generous return policy outlined below, but you should know that these are vintage pens.
- Caveats of buying vintage:
- All have the usual microscratches from usage. You can polish them out, but I'll leave that up to you. Major scratches or cracks, I have tried my best to point out.
- Avoid posting the cap: Personally, I post mine anyway (very gently!!) , but know that this risks cracking the cap. Cracks as a result of posting the cap will void the return policy completely
- Gold trim wear: I've tried to take representative pictures and give representative descriptions. Gold trim on these is rarely excellent; would go as far to say rarely even "good." If flaws on gold trim irk you, I would say that affordable vintage
pens won't be your cuppa. Mint ones would be a good deal more expensive than the ones I have listed here
- Flex: I've shown what I consider to be "safe" flexing in the writing samples. Don't be fooled by listings out there where the nibs have been over-pushed to exaggerate the flexibility.
Sprung nibs from over-flexing will also void the return policy completely.
- THESE ARE AWESOME NIBS !! Nothing modern compares. :D

#1
Pelikan 200 Blue Demo
$120
Steel B nib
Nice clear barrel, ink trapped in the nib unit area (inevitable).
Excellent condition overall, little or no gold trim wear.
Can upgrade to a vintage 400 14C OM gold nib for $75. Very nice.

#2
Pelikan 100N w/ Green binde
$160
14C DF nib (supposedly these are really stiff for carbon copies, but this one has some nice semi-flex, happily)
Excellent condition overall, but clip has some gold trim wear
4259342594
#3
Pelikan 120 Green/Black
$120
RARE Steno nib in steel. These are known to be more flexible than the usual steel Pelikan nibs. Very nice to use
Major gold trim wear and scratches to the pen (These student pens had a very light gold plating on the trim)
4259642597
#4
Pelikan 140 in RARE Burgundy
$125
14C F nib
Has a hairline in the cap (these models have metal sleeves in the cap, should hold up just fine) and a crack in the piston knob. This would be priced double if it didn't have these flaws.
The line in the ink window is not a crack or scratch. Just some water inside.
Good gold trim, not much wear to the clip.
